How shit happends

Udgivet den juni 26, 2006 af Brian Lund Klint 
In the beginning was the plan. 

And then came the assumptions. 

And the plan was without substance. 

And the assumptions were without form. 

And darkness was upon the face of the workers. 

And they spoke among themselves saying "It is a crock of shit, and it stinks". 

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said "It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof". 

And the supervisors went unto their Managers, saying, "it is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it". 

And the managers went to their Directors, saying "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength". 

And the Directors spoke among themselves saying to one another, "it contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong". 

And the directors went to the vice presidents saying unto them, "it promotes growth, and is very powerful". 

The vice presidents went unto the president, saying unto him, "this new plan will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company, with powerful effects". 

And the president looked upon the plan and saw that it was good. 

And the plan became policy. 

And that is how shit happens.

Installer vmware-server på debian

Udgivet den april 19, 2006 af mike 
Installer en ren debian


apt-get install x-window-system
apt-get install libdb2              (only needed for mui)

Download and install vmware-server, you can use only vmware server if you want to connect to it with vmware console and login with the unix root and rootpass.

However you can install the mui which gives you a webgraphical overview, mui needs libdb2 to create ssl certificates. Mui answers on port https://host:8333 and requires username and password as well, root uid will work here as well.

Both tarballs should be downloaded, unpacked and run install script.
